Wyse Technology Furthers Thin Computing Security Initiative through Partnership with Sygate Technologies

San Jose, CA – 2005/08/30 - Wyse Technology, the global leader in thin computing, today announced it has reached an agreement to offer Sygate Technologies' Sygate Security Agent (SSA) for its market leading Windows XPe based thin clients. The addition of the Sygate Security Agent to Wyse's software portfolio is a key addition to the Wyse's Secure Thin Computing initiative, which provides a best of breed and complete security platform for growing thin client infrastructures.

"Research has shown that security issues are foremost in the minds of IT executives," commented Bob O'Donnell, VP IDC. "Thin clients address many of these concerns, and vendors' efforts to further extend that security benefit will serve to increase the attractiveness of this technology."

The SSA for Windows XPe extends Sygate's award-winning endpoint security technology to devices running Windows XPe. SSA provides an application-centric firewall, application-based intrusion prevention engine and flexible deployment of security policies.

SSA can be easily and automatically deployed to Wyse thin clients using Wyse's device management software that simplifies IT management, reduces total cost of ownership, and improves return on investment. Customers can use the "no hassle" deployment features of Wyse's device management software to easily distribute security updates, including, policies and signatures.

"The partnership with Sygate is a component of Wyse's Secure Thin Computing initiative, providing our customers a more secure and reliable infrastructure within their corporate networks," said Tarkan Maner, SVP, Marketing and Business Development, Wyse Technology. "Additionally our market leading infrastructure management software solutions automate the deployment process, reducing the need and cost for IT administration."

"Naturally, our partnership with Wyse makes a lot of sense for both companies, but more importantly, it makes a lot of sense for our end users," commented Ramon Peypoch, Executive Director, Business Development, Sygate. "Combining the industry's best endpoint security products with an already secure technology like thin clients from Wyse, customers can easily add manageability and power to their overall security solutions. We look forward to working with Wyse in the future on other joint solutions."
